I bought a brake proportioning valve for the kids car. I put one of those brand new brass ones on in November and it has started to leak 2 times on me now. I only replaced the old one because when I put new lines on it the piece with the wire rotted off. 45 buck for brass that gave trouble twice or used good for 11 bucks that will outlast the car.
I am so tired of new parts. I think we should send them all back to the countries that make them followed by a big foot up the ***.

That is why I spend xtra for Moog suspension parts. I will pay 3 times as much for a part I dont have to change 4 times.
I was working on a Mercedes C 230 change the steering rack customer drove away had it for one month came back with a noise I went for a drive around the block heard the noise was pulling back into the shop and the steering locked up solid couldn’t turn it scariest thing ever good thing it happened to me and not to the customer at highway speed‘s it would’ve killed somebody phoned that rep that’s when he told me that they change the name of the company because of repercussions thank God the customer had the sense to bring it back with the noise
I honestly thought that the pinch bolt fell out and jammed my initial thought as I sat shaking in my /his seat I thought I fuked up nope not me after I got it in the shop was a locked up reman steering rack .
I know what you are saying Biff I hate working on suspension Always trying to make sure I did it right.
I am so glad I retire soon I don't have many come backs about 2 a year and it's almost always a windshield crack or a aftermarket radiator leaking. I am so glad I haven't killed anyone yet because of my screw up.
My biggest problem is putting a door back together some times I forget to hook up the inside door handle and have to take it apart again. Or have extra bolts or screws that take me awhile to figure out ware they go.
My boss and I were having our morning coffee today and thinking back on the old days some people that came in for an estimate would blame there oil burning car on the the accident. They would be a quart low every 1,000 miles or so and say because of the accident my car is losing oil.
Or my all time favorite is when you finished fixing the right side of the car the owner says all the damage to the left side was not there when they brought it to the shop.
